Mrs Baird's Pass The Bread Program
Ninnie Baird always shared with her neighbors. To continue that tradition, and to celebrate 100 years as a dinner table staple, Mrs Baird's announces its "Pass the Bread Program," a large scale partnership with local food banks. During 2008, Mrs Baird's will donate up to 500,000 loaves of bread to 25 local food banks in the communities where Mrs Baird's products are sold.
Pass the Bread will kick off on April 22 at the Tarrant Area Food Bank in Fort Worth, not far from the home where Ninnie Baird began baking bread for her neighbors in 1908. Mrs Baird's will then visit an additional 25 food banks during a four month period. These food banks are located across the Mrs Baird's territory in states including Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, Kansas and Missouri.
At each food bank visit, the Mrs Baird's Pass the Bread caravan will donate a large amount of fresh bread as well as hold a community event to educate our customers about the important role their local food bank plays in alleviating hunger. The amount of bread each food bank will receive will be based on need and annual food distribution. To avoid spoilage, these donations will be distributed throughout the rest of the year based on the food bank's requests. In total, Mrs Baird's will donate more than a half-million loaves of bread.
The Pass the Bread caravan will be visiting the South Plains Food Bank on June 11, 2008. They will be donating a total of 10,000 loaves of bread the our Food Bank. We want to thank them for the generosity and caring spirit!
